It's hard to tell in the picture of you earlobes :/

I'm assuming you have the 'attached earlobes'? On average that I have seen (and this is an average, not in ALL cases), people with smaller earlobes or attached earlobes can get anywhere from 2G-1/2". I would have a piercer look at it and have them give you their input. Ears are very unique and everyone's ears are different. You can always ask a professional modifications artist or a skin graph specialist as well.

The first picture is not her ear Mag.... and it's kind of difficult to see how the piercing sits in her earlobe with the hair in the way (where the earlobe connects to the body).

If you stretch slowly (about one size every 6-8 weeks or until you can stretch without any pain or resistance), there's no reason you can't get to the size you want. Also, massages with emu oil might help; it's pretty good for thickening lobes.

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

but by attached ear lobes,so you mean when the complete lobe is attached to your neck?( thats the best i could describe it lol) if thats the case ,i dont,i can stick my fingers between my earlobe and my neck. i might repost this subject when im able to upload pictures again :\

Then you shouldn't have any problems, just go Slooow. I'm at 5/8" and I took my time with it because I wanted to do it right the first time and because I wanted to make sure it was something I really wanted.

People with attached earlobes can still stretch, you just need to take extra care with them so they don't get too thin.
